Work Text:
It was quiet in the little town called Story Broock. Emma was at her desk finishing up her paperwork. She looked up to see her coworker/partner. She has been trying to figure him out. She can feel there is something different about him. But everyone else said he is normal. She doesn't believe it. Her sixth sense is going haywire whenever he is near. She looks over at him. Drilling a hole in his head "what are you up to?" As she says to herself but little does she know. Her thoughts are heard from her coworker. He shivers which she smirks. "I got you." She thought. He just smirked "you think you do." He thought. He got up and turned around to face her a smile on his face. "Would you like coffee while you finished up?" She smiles sweetly up at him. "Yes please." He walked over to the pot and make one for her. When he walked over to give her the cup. She looks down at the cup briefly. To find that she doesn't see his reflection in the cup. She was shocked but cover it up. She looked up at him smiling and accepting the cup. "Thank you Killian. "
He smiled and noded his head. "Your welcome love. How's the paperwork going?" She sighed "not so good. I'm stuck on one question about that recent case." "The one about the cat murder?" "Yep that's the one." "Maybe I can help love?" He walks over and gets really close to her. She can feel his right leg on her right arm. She blushed as her heart beats faster. He smirks because he can feel her heart. "What seems to be the problem love?" She gulps and points to the part on the paper. He bends down even though he doesn't need to. He sees where she is pointing. "Oh that would be to put found in house unconscious love." He stands and smirks down at her. She tried to cover her blushing face but to no avail. "Thank you Killian." She writes down the information and puts it into the folder. She puts the folder in the filling cabinet. She gets up and shuts the computer down. She gathered her things. She was about to walk off when she heard him clear his throat. She spins around and looks to see he has her coat. She blushes she walks over and looks down at the floor. As she takes the coat. She starts putting it on and she struggles. She feels the coat lift to see Killian helping her. She mumbles a thank you while not looking at him. He just smirks as he feels her delicious blood. He licks his lips but he hides it. He smiles down at her and waves by while she walks away.
The next few weeks Emma has been keeping a close eye on her partner. Even when they were out on a case. She would watch him very closely. Because she knew something was off about him. She found out some things about him: not seeing his reflection, she never sees him smile, he won't eat regular food only the red drink,never goes out in the sun, and he always smirks.
So one day while on a case she decides to confront him about it. She watches as they work on the case. She notices that his skin glows from the sun. Killian hiss in pain. She was shocked. She couldn't focuse on the case. Killian could sense that. So he covered for her. He knew why she was this way and he sighed. He knew he would have to explain to her. He was regretting it.
But he finished the case and thanked everyone for their help. He took emma behind the building and looked down at her. She could see that he wore a different expression on his face. It was sadness, nervousness, and was that blushing? "OK what have you concluded about me?" As he rubs the back of his head. She was taken back but blushed. "You don't eat regular food, you don't smile, I didn't see your reflection. So I'm thinking you are a vampire?" She looks up at him curious. He was taken back. He sighed and noded his head. He closed his eyes and opened his arms "go ahead pierce me with your dagger!" As he closes his eyes waiting for her to pierce him. She looked at him confused. She raised her eyebrow. "What are you talking about? I'm not going to pierce you." He was shocked and opened his eyes and looked at her. "Really? You are not going to hurt me? Why?" "Because we are partners. Plus that's not me. Also, I am shocked that I was right about you being a vampire. Yes at first I was shocked and a little scared. Now I am happy I was right and content. After trying to figure out." He laughs and for the first time. Emma could see his fangs as they glistened in the light. She subconsciously licked her lips and smiled.
He wiped the tear from his eyes." For a moment there I thought you were going to be like everyone else. When they found out I was a vampire." His smile went away. She hugged him. "Let me guess they were scared, ran, and tried to stab you?" She leans back and looks up at him. He only nodded his head. She cups his face and leans in and kisses his check then lips. "I'm not that type of person. That was in the past. This is the future! I'll be making sure me and everyone treats you with respect!" He laughs and pulls her into a hug. "Thank you. I just don't want to scare or hurt anyone after the last time…." She could tell by the tone of his voice that it broke him with whatever happened. Now he is trying to keep his distance from humans. But she hopped with the hug and kissed. That she convinced him that she is not a fragile thing. She noticed his smile and nod.
She was shocked "how did you know???" "One of our abilities with being a vampire is I can hear your thoughts, I can feel/smell your blood. Which by the way is devilishly delicious. I can't stop thinking about you. And no I don't drink from humans but yes I drink blood. It helps us stay alive. Yes I know , it's ironic."
"So you knew I was trying to figure you out this whole time! That's why you kept smirking!" "Guilty as charged love." She blushed. "What's with the accent? I like it." (I think it's sexy asf) but where are you from?" He smirked and leaned down. Whispered in her ear. "Ireland in 1835." As he leans back and looks at her with a smug look. She has her jaw hanging out "1835! You must be!" He puts his hands up. "Don't finish that sentence but yes." "Have you been reading all my thoughts?" "No just the ones I want to hear. You intrigue me swan. With your enticing eyes, blood, and personality I couldn't get enough! That's why I asked our boss to work alongside you. Also, I have another confession to make." He clears his throat and bites his lip so that his fang sticks out. "I have a big crush on you swan!" She was in shock. She looks up at him and hugs him. "I have a crush on you too Killian!" She leans back and looks up at him then his lips. He smirks and closes the gap in a heated kiss
